Blog-hopping about a new anthology!

Absolutely delighted that one of my stories has been included in ‘Love
and Lust in Space’. It's an anthology of eleven saucy science fiction stories edited
by Jennifer Denys and published today by Sexy Little Pages.

I’m doing a blog-hop with some of the other authors. Links to their
blogs are given at the end of this post. I’m sure they’d be grateful to
everyone who checks them out. Anyone who enjoys erotica will find something of
interest. And you may even find some giveaways...

I first learned about this anthology when Jennifer called for
submissions via a Facebook post. She and Anna at Sexy Little Pages already had
a title and cover art, which I think helped attract interest from writers.

I'm really looking forward to reading the ten other contributions as
soon as I can. Jennifer told me the stories fell naturally into two sets, which
she dubbed "futuristic Earth" and "alien worlds", with one
further story which seemed ideal as an epilogue.

My story is 'Re-Entry'... Astronauts Paul and Helen could easily die when their prototype space capsule malfunctions in orbit. Their only hope for survival for involves a risky spell with no radio contact. Total isolation is a time for honesty about their feelings for each other. With no guarantee of living until the next day, this last chance may be all they have.

I wrote the original version of my story a few years ago, dusted it off and e-mailed it as quickly as I could, and was delighted to hear those magic words - "we would like to include this". I’m not entirely sure how I came up with the idea, but that’s not
unusual for me! I like the idea of stories about people who know each other well, and find each other
attractive, but don’t feel comfortable about admitting it under normal
circumstances. So in anything-but-normal circumstances with more stress than you can shake a stick at, who knows what they’d be prepared to talk about? It’s not set at any
specific date, but sort of 30-40 years in the future.

So, a teeny bit of sales pitch... the "blurbs" for the
anthology and for all the other stories.

They say your screams can’t be
heard in space… Unless you have a partner or two! Eleven authors take you on a
trip where any pairings are acceptable, locations vary from spaceships to
strange and futuristic worlds, and interesting and exciting objects can be used
in sex play.

If randy astronauts, virtual
reality lovers, sex in near-death situations, a commitment phobe human and her
alien lover, and reproduction in space experiments don’t do anything for you,
you are clearly not human!

So try the stories in the alien worlds
half of the anthology, instead. Here you’ll find alien Doms, a mysterious
gladiator saving a stricken princess, an exotic dancer, a paid assassin on the
run, an illegal sonic dilda’tor, and a pleasure booth. Space has never been so
exciting!

Futuristic Earth

Naughty Nauts by H K Carlton (MFM): It's Jessa's job to observe Astronauts Hatch and Scott aboard the ISS. As the mission lengthens both ‘nauts begin to exhibit strange quirks, including suggestive behavior towards her. Jessa has no delusions. In what world would such formidable men give a curvy girl a go, let alone fulfill the delicious promises made over a wall of monitors.

One Night by Rose Wulf (MF): Ivy doesn’t believe in love. But she believes in lust – like the lust that draws her focus to a sexy alien across the bar. He’s set to leave Earth the next morning, so Ivy figures she’s in for just a single night of erotic bliss when he walks her way. What she gets is so much more...

Filling the Void by Jordan Monroe (MFM): Josie Rodriguez is the subject for a special mission. She is the female participant of a study to determine if humans can naturally reproduce in outer space. Her male partner for the study is also the captain of the mission, which takes place on board the International Space Station. She isn’t opposed to having other lab partners, so to speak…

Alien Worlds

The Audition by Ashe Barker (MF with multiple partners/aliens): When she accidentally opens a wormhole whilst working for NASA Lucy tumbles through to find herself in a parallel dimension with no way back. Ever. In this new and terrifying world she has to choose a Dominant mate from the group of males all more than happy to audition for the role.

The Gladiator’s Princess by Morgan King (MF): When life’s turning out just as you expected it to, when you’re about to be bred publically, as the climatic conclusion to a gladiatorial, orgy inspiring, conquest what Princess Kenara needs is a hunky alien to take her hostage. If Destin can also help with the pesky problem of her heat being triggered even better…

Alien Attraction by Dylan McEwan (MM): Five hundred years after the destruction of Earth, Aiden is a human slave on the planet Vordel, forced into the humiliating and tedious life of a sex performer in a seedy bordello. When he falls for the beautiful Vordellian aristocrat, Kyander, it seems like a hopeless dream, as relationships between the two species are strictly taboo.

Across the Stars by Ella Grey (MF): Kai knew he couldn't hide forever, but he never thought his old employers would send Lyria to track him down. Lyria wants her freedom and if that means she needs to capture and return the man who stole her heart, then so be it.

The Sonic Dilda'tor by Jennifer Denys (MF): Skarlet is a very sensuous woman, but is married to Braemel, whose people only have sex once every five years and she is desperate to save her marriage. She accidentally comes across a Sonic Dilda’tor and immediately knew it would help them. Unfortunately, it is banned on that planet …

Epilogue – after Futuristic Earth

The Pleasure Booth by Beverly Langland (MF and MFM scenes): Altairian scientists have uncovered an ancient Human artefact - the Pleasure Booth. Kazan, a feminist, xenologist and leader of a secret society, is the first Altairian female to try the booth, though strictly forbidden. She feels the journey essential for her thesis on Human sexuality and for the liberation of Altairian females. What she discovers is both puzzling and revolutionary.
